Our waste workers are an essential part of our operations, working tirelessly to keep our communities and businesses free from waste and debris. But it's not just about collecting trash - it's about exceeding customer expectations and making a positive impact on their daily lives.   Jermaine has been a shining star among our team of dedicated garbage truck drivers since 2020, consistently receiving rave reviews and five-star ratings for his outstanding service. His commitment to excellence has earned him a reputation as a reliable and dedicated waste collector who goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. His service is so fantastic his customers started calling our local news station, WISTV10, to get him featured on the evening news. “Anything I can do to bring a smile to that individual’s face, it brings a smile to my face, and it warms my heart,” Jermaine said during his interview on the news.   Building on the spirit of Jermaine's initiatives, we're taking customer service to the next level by offering creative ways to connect with our customers beyond the standard trash pickup experience. Our waste truck drivers are equipped with special handouts, such as child sized hats, safety vests, and coloring books, which they can share with customers during their routes.

At Capital Waste Services, we're proud to have a team of dedicated professionals like Jermaine who take pride in their work, even when it comes to dealing with waste and garbage.   “You can’t put a price on the smiles coming from your children’s faces and seeing the excitement of them running out the house just to see Jermaine [or] get a high five,” Crystal Blume a CWS customer said during the interview. “It’s people like Jermaine that are making a difference; they’re making a difference by spreading kindness, love, and joy every day, no matter what they’re going through."   We're thrilled to share Jermaine's story with you, but we know there are many more stories to be told.
